To Gain Weight Do You Need To Slow Down Or Speed Up Your Metabolism

1

Neither:
You would theoretically slow your metabolism to gain weight but the health consequences of this are not worth any potential benefits you may envision. You would likely get weak and possibly get multiple metabolic problems as well.

Speed metabolism.:
Weight training builds lean muscle which is metabolically active around the clock, day and night. While some studies suggest that cardiovascular exercise may stimulate the metabolism for as much as 48 hours after the exercise, it may be much less time. Both are best in combination. As well, eating a small healthy meal of lean protein and complex carbs every 2-3 hours speeds the metabolism.

Add weight training:
Aerobic (running, biking, swimming, elliptical, etc...) exercise increases metabolism only for the duration of that exercise. If you want to keep your metabolism going after your workout has stopped you need to add weight lifting to your program. Not light dumbell exercises, but real lifts like squat, deadlift, heavy kettlebells, etc... Work with a trainer and ramp up slowly.

You Wanna Get High?:
The more you exercise the more your metabolism will ramp-up (to a limit, of course), especially if you do sprints 2-3 times a week. You'll notice it takes longer to cool down. Your basal metabolism will be increased in general and with the development of more muscle it will go higher (it takes a lot more energy to metabolize muscle than fat). Please don't do it with drugs. You'll regret it.

Meat and veggies :
Eat only meat or fish or cheese or eggs or poultry and low starch veggies, drink only water. In other words avoid all carbs, carbs will only briefly raise your sugar levels and then increase your Insulin levels. High Insulin levels will impair thyroid metabolism and slow down your metabolism.

Fractures:
For bone to heal adequately, there must be no motion across the fracture site. Excess movement can cause a delay in fracture union. If your bone hasn't healed within an appropriate amount of time, your doctor may decide to order a bone stimulator for you. It's a painless device that uses electromagnetic energy to speed up bone healing.

Look into iodine :
Look into iodinesupplements for thyroid and ovarian support. It can be found in iodarol or i-thyroid. Consult with a nutritionist/medical doctor for dosing. Cinnamon is good for Insulin control as well.

It's called exercise:
Hi. Metabolism can be defined many ways, but consumption of fuel/calories is a simple and good one for this discussion. There are countless scams out there to take your money for snake oil to burn fat; don't fall for them. You increase consumption of fuel (carbohydrate and fat) by exercising regularly. Healthy diet and regular aerobic exercise is the starting for good health. Good luck!

Don't do it:
Don't drink the energy drink! (presumably it contains caffeine and, short of taking medicines that require medical care and have potential side effects, you can't slow the heart at home.).

Rebound weight gain:
It is not unusual to experience wight gain after discontinuation of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) or other stimulants due to rebound increase in appetite. If not kept in check, it can lead to weight gain, as would be expected. It does not increase BMR, as is commonly believed. The best way to maintain weight is to monitor calorie intake and activity level. This can be achieved with mindful eating and regular exercise.
